One thing I want from this blog is to support some of our local businesses -- especially the mom-and-women-owned businesses. It never ceases to amaze me how many creative ways women find to be a mom and have a fulfilling career, too.

I sent out a call to the Stapleton Moms group, and they did not disappoint. Look for some profiles of these local businesses soon! What would be helpful to you, dear readers, to find out about the businesses in our neighborhood - from storefronts, to home businesses, to virtual businesses?

In the meantime, welcome to many new Stapleton neighbors on my Twitter list -- you'll see their tweets over to the right -->
